On August 19, I decided on a whim to tally up all posts on the site by year, browsing through the Recent Episodes pages on the maximum page size. The results:
2015: 353 and counting
2014: 315
2013: 628
2012: 804
2011: 1381
2010: 1993
2009: 2331
2008: 2348
2007: 2988
2006: 4348
2005: 5336
2004: 7535
2003: 10355
I didn't do 2002 because that was the site's first year -- it debuted in August. So 2003 was the site's first full year. It's literally been in decline every year since then, with the exception of this year, which has shown the first year-over-year increase in the Addventure's history.
It may have been a fountain of creativity once. These days, I think it's mainly just Sharp's playground and the home of DKA. And no longer the former, apparently.
It also holds some historical interest to me, because it was where Jared Ornstead debuted his "Lionheart" sockpuppet, four years before making a FanFiction.Net account for it. The first thing he did with it, more or less*? A Ranma/Ranko lemon.
*He has five posts from the previous few hours, but they were all leading up to the lemon and none of them got many comments. The lemon itself got a strong response, largely negative. His own comment was... remarkably typical.
EDIT: Also, I think the Addventure format came from porn sites.
Pronounced "shy guy."
